Touch me like a tango,Slow and sexy On the streets ofOld Buenos Aries — Touch me like a tango,Heat mounting, Passion cascadingOn the streets of Old Buenos Aires — Touch me like a tango,Sad and tortured,With languid longing On the streets of Old Buenos Aires — Touch me like a tango,Lose me in the music,The mournful melody ofThe bandoneónOn the streets of Old Buenos Aires

Make me forget it is nowAnd remember how It was then — On the streets of Old Buenos Aires — When the music was free, Dancing desirous,Crowds gathering and gazingAs we touched in a tangoOn the streets of Old Buenos Aires.
